Monmouth to Pacific City. 70 miles.
I never did watch the T.V. last night. I went to the grill next door with Thane and Ruffie instead. They think that I get a better deal because I am female. WHY?!
1. My motel room should have cost 75 dollars, but I said the maximum I could pay was 50 and they gave it to me.
2. I ordered the set price light dinner menu, and they gave us a starter as well by mistake.
3. I said I would like a local beer - and they gave us three free tasters - each in about a quarter pint glass to try. I then had a very nice wheat tasting pint.!
I do not think any of the above have anything to do with my gender.
This morning I had a lie in and did not leave until 7.A.M. It was then a cycle towards the coast, passing more fruit stalls and being passed by a lot of traffic. There were also wineries, - but I have not yet sampled their wares. The traffic got worse and I was glad to take the longer but very scenic wooded old Highway 101. I rejoined the main route just before Nwskowin, which is also were I got my first view of the Pacific Ocean. I cycled on to Pacific City, where I have hit the coast. there is very white sand and a pleasant lowish key tourist resort.
Which means nice cafes, a micro brewery but no casinos. I am staying in the campsite which as I expected costs a lot more than inland, but less than a motel. I also get a swimming pool and the beach!
